The Sun will be coming into the game here with a somewhat decent record on the year. The Sun have ended up with a 6-8 record overall. The last game that the Connecticut team played in ended up being a win over the New York Liberty by a 82-65 score.
The leading scorer for the Sun on the year so far has been DeWanna Bonner who has put in a total of 18.3 points a game. She has managed to shoot at a clip of 41.9% on the year so far. The rebounding leader for the Sun is Alyssa Thomas who has ended up getting 8.9 boards a game, but has managed to get a total of 4.7 assist per game.
Phoenix is coming into the game here playing a little bit better than the Sun. The Mercury have ended up getting a 7-7 record on the year so far and have looked fairly impressive in how the team has been playing. The last game for the Mercury ended up being a 88-87 win over the Washington Mystics.
Leading the scoring for Phoenix has been Diana Taurasi who has put in a total of 16.5 points per game, but is only shooting at a clip of 38.7% on the year from the floor. Taurasi also leads the Mercury in the assist department with 5.1 per game. One glaring question mark for the Mercury would be who can take the rebounding lead as Brittney Grinner was the leading rebounder, but left the bubble.
In the game here the Sun are going to have an advantage as the Mercury have to adjust with the loss of Grinner who left the bubble. Look for the loss of Grinner to bring the Mercury team a lot of question marks on the year as the Sun are able to control the rebounding department and that helps out quite a bit in the game here as the Sun have an easier time prevent second chance shots. Final Score Prediction, Connecticut Sun win 79-75.
